NOTICE

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE UNDER FLORIDA STATUTE LAW 458.320. PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT DOCUMENT AS THESE ARE YOUR RIGHTS UNDER FLORIDA STATUTE LAW 458.320

 

Dear Patient:

Under Florida law Statute (458.320 F.S.), physicians are generally required to carry medical malpractice insurance or demonstrate financial responsibility to cover potential claims for medical malpractice. I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO CARRY MEDICAL MALPRACTICE INSURANCE. This is permitted under Florida law under certain conditions. Florida law imposes penalties against non-insured physicians who fail to satisfy adverse judgements arising from claims of medical malpractice. This notice is provided pursuant of Florida law statute (459.320 F.S.).

This form is provided to protect your rights under Florida Statute 458.320.
